First N: How can this dishonest media report anything on b.o.? It's ALLLLL bad about him (& for them). The situation/s he has put us in are DISASTROUS!! They have nothing positive to report. It's all pelosi (b.s)! Now, you and I and an increasing number of Americans realize there are TONS of stories to report, but they JUST CAN'T report THAT STUFF...it shows their savior in a negative light! So, they resort to stories about swans on a lake, green Spirit Lake & TV's for prisoners. Our country is collapsing......ahhhhhh, not a story. This year's b.o. budget (buying off his "most worthtless and stupid" among us voters) is 4 times the previous largest deficit in history (of course it is Georrrrggge Busshhhh's fault)! Afghanistan is now a mess.....b.o. can't/won't decide if he wants to Uhmmmm Uhhhh deficate or get off the pot. In the meantime we have troops dying daily. But of course, again, can't report that........because there is no way to keep the halo behind b.o.'s head! Anyone out there who has a child considering a military career...under this imbicile? I'd talk 'em out of it. He'll leave your son or daughter alone and dying on the battlefield if it means the poilitical winds favor letting them die. IT'S THE CHICAGO WAY!! You all get that yet?

It sucks to be biased doesn't it? (Nothing about Obama on the Globe) It sucks to be a liberal too. Being dishonest, living in denial and ignoring facts can make one frustrated and angry, a typical liberals M.O.

We could call the biggest jokers of Minnesota were the ones that elected Frankenstein. But remember, he did not win. He got in by fraud. Which other candidates other than liberals, like Frankey, could count ballots that were found in the trunk of a car after the election - and all 400 were for Frankey. Also why is it that the most liberal areas of Minnesota could gain so many votes in the recount. Frankenstein is the biggest joke ever. He makes Ventura look like a piece of gold. I wish I could remember what bill Franken proposed when he first got into office. I want to say it was something about dogs. Does anyone else remember? All I know, is that the fact that he made fun of rape is enough for me to give him no respect.

Oh, no way George Bush beats out "Bozo Bill" Clinton for top clown. "Bozo Bills" what the meaning of the word is- -IS act was hilarious. And who can forget his Pinocchio nose growing act while lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky? That had 'em rolling on the floor! Still I have to agree that Obama and Franken probably beat out "Bozo Bill" as great clowns.

Franken against rape? NOw THAT is funny! In 1995, New York Magazine sat in on a “Saturday Night Live” sketch writing session with Al Franken, Norm MacDonald, and Jim Downey as they riffed on “60 Minutes”—and rape. From an Associated Press story: Franken and fellow writers Norm MacDonald and Jim Downey kick around fictional Rooney responses to the discovery of the bottle. . . . The article quotes Franken putting an edgy twist on the discussion: “And ‘I give the pills to Lesley Stahl. Then when Lesley’s passed out, I take her to the closet and rape her.’ Or ‘That’s why you never see Lesley until February.’ Or, ‘When she passes out I put her in various positions and take pictures of her.” MacDonald takes it a step further, suggesting that the Rooney rape comment be directed at other “60 Minutes” icons Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley. Franken chimes in: “What about ‘I drag Mike into my office and rape him. Right here! I guess that makes me bad.’” Aside from the election of b.o., there has been no greater election joke/tragedy in U.S. history than that of Franken(stein)!
